Ruby and Zoisite Necklace Set

Description

Ruby-zoisite is the natural combination of both ruby and zoisite crystals in a single specimen. It is also known as ‘anyolite’, a name derived from the Masai word for ‘green’ (anyoli). Other name variations include “ruby-in-zoisite” and “Tanganyika artstone”. Ruby-zoisite was discovered at the Longido mining district in northeast Tanzania by Tom Blevins, an English prospector. To this day, Tanzania remains the only source for ruby-zoisite.

This necklace measures approximately 16 inches in length with a sterling silver clasp and it also includes a pair of earrings with sterling silver fittings.
